I think a young guy who is hungry to establish himself is the way to go as well. Sometimes it's not about bucking the administration, or being bull headed towards them, that brings about changes. Alot of times it's simply putting in the extra hours to "work with", when in actuality you are working around, the admins. Not just anyone can come in and instantly be successful. No matter what the program has done as recent as the previous season. Look at Highlands. I was born and raised in the Raceland Worthington school district, graduated from there, played ball there, and now have two sons in the youth program. Bill Tom was the coach from long before I was born, until I was in 2nd grade. Then Hoof took over. He was there until 3 years after I graduated. Then Maynard and now Salmons. Raceland isn't the winningest program in the state by any stretch, no state title banners are hung up around Ram Stadium. We have only won 2 regional titles and then got are asses handed to us on a platter in the semis two years in a row. But we are in the thick of it every year and we are, if nothing else, consistent. I think alot of it has to do with the fact, that in 30 years, there have only been 4 head coaches and each time one stepped out, a staff member stepped in. Now, some would argue that is the very reason we can't get over the hump and I agree with that to an extent. But, we have become a program that a 6-4/7-3 season, is a travesty of a season and I credit our community and culture of the football program for that. Chris is a great dude and a good football coach. He will land on his feet somewhere soon and given the chance by a program AND HIMSELF, he will be successful.
